Indications for Use
DRYalysate™ Concentrate is intended for use for patients being treated by hemodialysis. The primary patient population that will use this device are those who suffer from loss of kidney function and who are prescribed acute or chronic hemodialysis. The indications for use of this product are exactly the same as those for currently marketed dialysate concentrates.
Device Story
DRYalysate™ Concentrate consists of packaged dry chemicals; mixed with AAMI quality water to create acid concentrate for hemodialysis. Available in single-dose (5L) or bulk (50L) packages. Used in proportioning hemodialysis machines; functions identically to existing liquid concentrates. Citric acid serves as the acidifying agent. Intended for clinical use in patients with kidney failure; prescribed by physicians. Benefits include convenience of dry storage and transport compared to liquid concentrates.
Clinical Evidence
Three clinical studies were submitted to support safety and effectiveness. No specific performance metrics (e.g., p-values, CIs) were provided in the summary document.
Technological Characteristics
Dry chemical powder for reconstitution with AAMI quality water. Acidifying agent: citric acid. Form factor: single-dose or bulk packaging. Used in standard proportioning hemodialysis machines.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with loss of kidney function requiring acute or chronic hemodialysis.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hemodialysis system and accessories is a device that is used as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and that consists of an extracorporeal blood system, a conventional dialyzer, a dialysate delivery system, and accessories. Blood from a patient flows through the tubing of the extracorporeal blood system and accessories to the blood compartment of the dialyzer, then returns through further tubing of the extracorporeal blood system to the patient. The dialyzer has two compartments that are separated by a semipermeable membrane. While the blood is in the blood compartment, undesirable substances in the blood pass through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate in the dialysate compartment. The dialysate delivery system controls and monitors the dialysate circulating through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer.(1) The extracorporeal blood system and accessories consists of tubing, pumps, pressure monitors, air foam or bubble detectors, and alarms to keep blood moving safely from the blood access device and accessories for hemodialysis (§ 876.5540) to the blood compartment of the dialyzer and back to the patient. (2) The conventional dialyzer allows a transfer of water and solutes between the blood and the dialysate through the semipermeable membrane. The semipermeable membrane of the conventional dialyzer has a sufficiently low permeability to water that an ultrafiltration controller is not required to prevent excessive loss of water from the patient's blood. This conventional dialyzer does not include hemodialyzers with the disposable inserts (Kiil type) (§ 876.5830) or dialyzers of high permeability (§ 876.5860). (3) The dialysate delivery system consists of mechanisms that monitor and control the temperature, conductivity, flow rate, and pressure of the dialysate and circulates dialysate through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer. The dialysate delivery system includes the dialysate concentrate for hemodialysis (liquid or powder) and alarms to indicate abnormal dialysate conditions. This dialysate delivery system does not include the sorbent regenerated dialysate delivery system for hemodialysis (§ 876.5600), the dialysate delivery system of the peritoneal dialysis system and accessories (§ 876.5630), or the controlled dialysate delivery system of the high permeability hemodialysis system § 876.5860). (4) Remote accessories to the hemodialysis system include the unpowered dialysis chair without a scale, the powered dialysis chair without a scale, the dialyzer holder set, dialysis tie gun and ties, and hemodialysis start/stop tray.
